Joint General Government and Planning and Development Committees Minutes
February 7, 2022
Craig Klassen was present in opposition to the application. Mr. Klassen
expressed his concerns regarding the safety of residents and traffic in the
neighborhood. He concluded by stating that the proposal will increase the chance
of hazards due to large vehicles from the construction.
Tim and Lauren Williams were present in opposition to the application. Ms.
Williams stated that they are speaking on behalf of the neighborhood residents
and noted a petition and list of concerns was submitted to Toni Rubino in the
Planning and Development Services Department. She expressed her concerns
regarding safety, speeding, traffic, and on -street parking. Ms. Williams stated that
the extension will create a hazard for residents and children walking to the park
or school. She expressed her concerns regarding noise and pollution
contaminating backyard gardens and pools with dust and debris. Ms. Williams
noted that there is a lack of history on the builder and stated that it is upsetting
that despite all concerns regarding the proposal, applications of this nature are
still being submitted. She answered questions from Members of Committee.
Amber Novak was called upon and was not present.
Kinza Haider, Kinza Law Office, was present in support of the application. She
stated that she is present on behalf of her client, the direct neighbour to the
proposal. Ms. Haider explained that in the winter, the snowplow pushes snow to
the dead-end creating a barricade to her client's property and to Cherry Blossom
Park. She stated that the proposal will provide a long-term benefit as the
snowplow can pass through the streets and not create a barricade. Ms. Haider
added that the Courtice Construction Team is not the builder and will be hiring a
qualified builder for the construction.
Eric Richter was present in opposition to the application. Mr. Richter expressed
his concerns regarding the safety of children, the time of construction, and
increased traffic. Mr. Richter added that there are always vehicles parking on the
street, which will get worse with the extension. He stated that the extension will
provide another route for main street traffic and that the land is home to wildlife.
Tyler Long was present in opposition to the application. Mr. Long expressed his
concerns regarding traffic, speeding, and the safety of children. He stated that
there have been accidents in the area and noted there has already been an
attempt to slow traffic. Mr. Long explained that the extension will provide more
traffic through the neighbourhood than the main streets. He added that children
play in the area and the extension will negatively impact their safety.
Prakash Jacob was called upon but was not present.

February 7, 2022
Michael Fry and Ashlee Prescott, D.G. Biddle, were present on behalf of the
applicant. Ms. Prescott thanked Staff for their assistance with the application and
provided the background of the application. Ms. Prescott explained that the lands
have been vacant and undeveloped for years and are not identified as natural
heritage areas. Mr. Fry stated that the design of the subdivision has always
contemplated the extension of the road and noted the detailed design will be
reviewed by the public and Staff, who will ensure that the corners are designed
for safe movement and include an extension of the sidewalk. He noted that
sidewalks are a requirement of the municipality and will be secured through the
subdivision process.

Advisory Committee, Regarding Courtice Waterfront Park
Jim Boate, Clarington Active Transportation and Safe Roads Advisory Committee
was present regarding the Courtice Waterfront Park. Mr. Boate stated that the
Clarington Active Transportation and Safe Roads Advisory Committee offers
advice to Council and Staff on matters relating to trails and active transportation.
He suggested that a new trail and park be created that runs along the west side
of Courtice Shores Drive, including the final leg of Tooley's Creek. Mr. Boate
added that the trail was first suggested at the Courtice Waterfront PIC in March
2019 and stated that the area is one of the last to be developed. He suggested
that a green trail/path and park that would circle around the existing creek with
two small -foot bridges crossing at the top and bottom of the park be added. Mr.
Boate added that the location is great for a starter park and could be home to
different native flora and fauna, offers the gentle trickling creek flowing down to
Lake Ontario, could provide an accessible path to users with mobility devices,
and will easily retain the existing landscape. He stated that his suggestion could
be completed by 2023, displayed photos of the existing area and area of the
proposed trail, and answered questions from Members of Committee.

Energy Centre Throughput Increase from 140,000 to 160,000 Tonnes Per
Year - Municipal Comments
Linda Gasser was present regarding Report PDS-008-22 Durham York Energy
Centre Throughput Increase from 140,000 to 160,000 Tonnes Per Year -
Municipal Comments. Ms. Gasser explained that the Region of Durham staff
consistently tailor replies which omit key facts when asked questions about the
incinerator exceedances. She outlined the conflicting information contained in the
ESR which has the potential to impact air emissions due to changes in waste
composition -impacts that were not addressed in the EA. Ms. Gasser explained
that the waste reduction strategy is essential to addressing waste and capacity at
the DYEC and added that Durham had no waste reduction or reuse strategies in
the latest strategic plan. She noted that Durham Region had the second -highest
waste generation rate within their group of municipalities with similar
characteristics. Ms. Gasser provided an overview of the Durham waste budgets
from 2019 to 2022.

information regarding greenhouse gas and incinerators. She provided an
overview of the projected annual GHG emission increases from the DYEC and
stated that the DYEC monitoring must be updated and enhanced to consider
additional throughput and changing waste consumption. Ms. Gasser suggested
that Clarington participate in the monthly Covanta meetings so issues can be
flagged early.

6.7 Delegation by Hamish Corbett-Hains, Associate, Dillon Consulting Limited,
Regarding Notice of Completion, Durham York Energy Centre, Throughput
Increase from 140,000 to 160,000 Tonnes per Year — Air Quality Advisor
Comments
Hamish Corbett-Hains, Dillon Consulting, was present regarding Notice of
Completion, Durham York Energy Centre, Throughput Increase from 140,000 to
160,000 Tonnes per Year - Air Quality Advisory Comments. Mr. Corbett-Hains
explained Dillion Consulting's role noting they are retained by the Municipality to
act as an air quality advisor, their scope is not to provide a peer review of the Air
Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) and highlighted the qualifications of their
team. He provided an overview of the Environmental Screening Report (ESR)
and AQIA. He explained that a review of the air quality, odour, and greenhouse
gases sections of the ESR was performed. Mr. Corbett-Hains provided a general
overview of the AQIA noting that it generally follows good industry practice for air
dispersion modelling assessments and is generally in line with Ministry of
Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) guidance. He explained that most
indicator compounds are monitored at the nearby Courtice and Rundle stations
and noted that Courtice is considered to be upwind of DYEC while Rundle is
considered downwind. Mr. Corbett-Hains recommended that the municipality
request the Region and MECP to review the data selected for background
conditions to confirm the assessment is appropriately conservative. He added
that the summary of monitoring data shows that several indicator compounds are
at levels close to, or exceeding, the air quality criteria without the influence of
DYEC.
Mr. Corbett-Hains outlined the AQIA emission rates noting the approach is
conservative and is in line with good industry practice. He recommended that the
municipality request the Region and MECP to confirm that all stack parameters
and emission rates have been appropriately characterized. Mr. Corbett-Hains
stated that the meteorological data was reviewed and appears appropriate by the
MECP. He explained that the AQIA assessed the impacts from the proposed
increase using the CALPUFF air dispersion model and noted the model is
appropriate given the scale of the facility and proximity to Lake Ontario. Mr.
Corbett-Hains noted that there appears to be inconsistencies in the determination
of flow rate between the existing and proposed scenarios and recommended that
the municipality request that Durham and MECP confirm that all stack
parameters and emission rates have been accurately determined. He stated that
the best practice is to locate receptors at any point within the model where an
impact would occur and noted that the AQIA has not included any elevated
receptors in the air dispersion model.
11
Joint General Government and Planning and Development Committees Minutes
February 7, 2022
Mr. Corbett-Hains stated that the current zoning allows for both a hotel and
daycare within 500m of the DYEC and recommended that the municipality
request the Region and MECP to assess the potential impacts at all sensitive
receptor locations which are existing, allowable, or proposed, within the study
area. He explained that the AQIA has not considered the impacts of DYEC
cumulatively with other approved industries and recommended that the
municipality confirm with the Region and MECP that the assessment has
appropriately considered all proposed and operating facilities in the area. Mr.
Corbett-Hains explained that the AQIA reported no result in a significant change
to off -site concentrations of indicator compounds and noted that Nitrogen Dioxide
and Benzo[a]pyrene are predicted to exceed the relevant criteria under both the
existing and proposed scenarios. He explained that the ESR shows that the
increase will result in a net reduction in GHGs when compared to the alternative
scenario of landfilling at a remote site and recommended that the municipality
confirm with the Region that no change in the waste stream composition is
expected. Mr. Corbett-Hains explained the start-up and shut -down conditions and
recommended that the municipality request the Region and MECP to confirm that
the selection of operating conditions assessed is appropriate to support the
conclusions of the ESR/AQIA. He outlined the real-time ambient air quality
monitoring network setup recommendations and answered questions from
Members of Committee.
